Not Me Monday!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

I can’t believe I’m sharing some of this stuff this week…

I did not not know that my son had thrown up again, sometime…I don’t know when, and not tell me so that his old throw up bucket did not tip over when he kicked it in his sleep, and old vomit did not land all over his sheets, but luckily not on him. (Did I write that right? I meant to say the negative of I didn’t know that my son threw up in his old throw up bucket on the shelf on his headboard, and then he kicked it in his sleep, and vomit went all over the bed. He then woke up…poor thing.)

I mean, I would never leave a (I thought empty) vomit bucket in a room for days after he was sick. My kids’ rooms are always spotless and can pass a white glove inspection. They always pick up their toys too.

This incident did not lead to the decision, as I have another twin bed in the room waiting for Elias to outgrow the crib, to completely move him to a new clean bed for the night. I then took care of his yucky bed as best I could in the dark (since Elias and he share a room) and waited for morning to do the rest. I’ve never been so grateful for a spare bed in my life.

I did not keep my daughter up past 9pm on a school night because of a small group meeting at church we joined. We would never put her through that, and then mercilessly wake her up at 6:30 the following morning to get ready to meet the bus.

I did not (really brace yourself for this one) not clean my fridge before we left on Christmas vacation…

…. ….. ….and then put it off until last week. Seriously, it wasn’t as bad as I’d imagined…but it was pretty bad. I (real here) usually clean it out once a week. I never(fake mode again) put off jobs that I hate until they take over some part of my life. If you want proof, go look at my sofa in the den, and how free of mountains of laundry it has right now. (insert hysterical laughter here.) I mean…I’m always on top of everything…especially housework.

I did not feed my baby Honeycomb (the cereal) for 45 minutes of solid fist to mouth action just because it was the only thing keeping him from screaming. That was not followed the next day, but with Ritz crackers because we were out of Honeycomb. My kids eat healthy, vegetable-like foods for snacks and not cereal…all…day…long.

Well, that’s it for now, and probably more than I should have.
